DBS Multiplier Account : I am assuming you have DBS multiplier account. If not, it is quite easy, you can login to DBS and apply by yourself for DBS multiplier, you will get a new account number and you are set to go. No need to even go to the branch.

Step 1 : You signup for an account in Gemini using Register Option. You will need to submit your Passport details, your utility bill and bank statement.

Step 2 : Login to Gemini and from the menu Go to Transfer Funds –> Deposit to Exchange –> USD Wire Transfer. For internationals, it is going to be Wire Transfer, even if you choose Bank Transfer, it will default to wire transfer.

Step 3 : You will see an option to Add Bank Account. Click that to add your Singapore Bank details. In our case your DBS bank details. You will see something like below, where you will need to enter your exact name and the details of you as it appears in DBS bank account. Also, the amount you need to transfer to Gemini Exchange. This is important as your transaction is tied to the amount you enter here, you should not send more or less to avoid rejections from Gemini side as they will give you a code in next step that you need to put in in Memo/ Notes when you send the transaction. After you enter, click Next.

Step 5 : Now, you will see a big page with a lot of details of the bank like below, their address, etc. This is key page, you should take a screenshot, if you can.
